  Never meet your heroes. I was a big fan of his work before taking a class with him. He's the rockstar of the cogsci department at Berkeley but he's known as a massive ego and a poor professor.

    I took one of Lakoff's classes in 1987 and found his work to be compelling. Metaphors We Live By should be required reading. http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/M/bo3637992.html http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/M/bo3637992...

      Sure, it's a fair consideration. But before asking that question you should have just quickly googled some other student opinions. http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=246554 http://www.ratemyprofessors.com/ShowRatings.jsp?tid=246554
